Also with Tom Cruise: The often under appreciated film, Oblivion.
This. Oblivion was great.
This movie surprised the shit out of me. I loved it. Really really fun watch. +1
Fantastic film
Yup, amazing movie.
I actually liked oblivion more than edge of tomorrow.
"So you're an American?"
"No, sir... I'm from Kentucky."
I have laughed at that line every single time I've seen this movie or watched a reaction to it.
My favorite line in the movie.
It's a Southern thing, where they still remember that we are a union of sovereign republics.
@@Hiraghm Haha yeah, I am aware of this. And to be clear, I'm not laughing because I think he's wrong or being silly, but more that the line is given with such _earnestness,_ and it's a tad unexpected when they're currently in the UK. It's just a really great moment that says so much about his character in 3 words.
This movie really was a breath of fresh air. Groundhog Day meets Terminator. Tom Cruises does an amazing job of showing the growth of character just with his face.
Live. Die. Repeat. This movie had it all: a great story, great effects, great casting, and great acting.
Bill Paxton! who would have believed in 2014 that in just a few years he would leave us!? this man had so many more roles ahead of him!.. 😢
Game over man, game over
@@stylekat classic! 😄
@@boqndimitrov8693 Tip of the spear, edge of the knife, Crack of my arse... perfect!
I feel like films like this are proof we can still make great movies and everything doesn’t have to be a cash grab or a remake of a dead franchise.
Though maybe worth pointing out that it _was_ existing IP (based on a book, not an original script). It's also 10 years old so maybe proof we _could_ make great movies...etc. :).
@@anonymes2884 Aren’t like 90% of films based on a book or short story? 🫤
unfortunately while its a great movie it did not do well in the box office so by the studio standards was considered a failure.
@@anonymes2884 isn’t like 95% of the movies we see based on books and short stories? 🤷♂️
@@mikes1487 sometimes great movies aren’t promoted properly or they just don’t catch on initially, doesn’t make them less great.
When an Alpha dies, the Omega resets 24 hours before its death and it becomes the permanent save point like in a video game (the whole movie). Tom Cruise's character loses the ability and they go kill the Omega the night before they storm the beach, so that's why he was in the helicopter in the end. The Omega died the night before and the new and final save spot is 24 hours before that, aka in the helicopter just coming into town. I really recommend War of the Worlds (2005) and Minority Report (2002) which are both directed by Steven Spielberg and both star Tom Cruise. You would love them a lot and yes, they are both sci-fy action with some other elements.
Good effort, that's the best explanation I've seen. But I'm not sure it's right.
But at one point, the General says "When you left this office today I never imagined you'd be back." So, by this time, Cage has woken up on the kit bags, found Rita, had the meeting with the nerd, and driven to central London from Heathrow - all on the same day as he arrived in the helicopter. So when he's inadvertently resetting the time frame, it's to some point in the *middle of that day* when he wakes up on the kitbags. It must be all to do with when he regains consciousness - that's the reset point. Does he sleep before they get on the drop ship for the morning invasion? That's never made clear (or at least I don't remember). But I presume not, otherwise he'd reset to the beginning of the day. So why, when he dies at the end, does it reset to the previous time he regained consciousness, after sleeping in the helo?
Maybe he *did* sleep between 'kit-bags' and 'drop ship', and he normally resets to the penultimate time he regained consciousness; on the final occasion he doesn't sleep because they go straight to hijacking the drop-ship and attacking the Omega, so that time he resets to the time-before-last... which is... in the helicopter?
@@BenjWarrant I didn’t realized it but yeah you’re right. Well… in a sense that using a tazer wouldn’t exactly knock you out 24hrs. So basically its 1 whole day until the sgt. wakes them (J-squad) up on the next day which is the invasion. So they killed the Omega I think very early in morning that’s why it’s still night. Idk what time though but maybe 4 or 5 in morning maybe. Idk, time traveling or whatever can be really confusing
Oblivion, Minority Report, War of the Worlds, all good Tom Cruise flicks :)
He is really good at being in the best movies. :D And I should give him credit for his great acting in them.
Being in Scientology, he always starred in cool sci-fi movies 😂
I agree with the titles you mentioned and won't bother listing all his movies but I do think 'Rain Man' is deserving of special mention, too.
@@musicloverchiefsfan5410I should have added *scifi* to that sentence 😊 He has been in lots of good movies, in regards to rainman i think Hoffmann deserves credit. I'm an excellent driver 🚗
@@thomasnielsen8554 Agreed. My bad for not recognizing the sci-fi theme of the titles, plus she did mention sci-fi movies. I also agree that Hoffman's performance was stellar and outshines Tom's role in Rain Man, but he still did a great job portraying the character arc.
i was betting myself to see how long it would take Jordan to figure out that cool sword was just a helicopter blade.😂
I think specifically a tail rotor prop blade.
Needs to spend more time with airplane mechanics.
It was from the blade of the quad copter that Rita's lover was on when he died
"Bloody hell, it's the Full Metal Bitch!"
Fun Fact: The soldier that says this and is punched by Emily Blunt, is her real-life younger brother.
Historical Allegory Fact: The film was released in the U.S. on June 6, 2014, the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion during World War II. The film shares many similarities to the attack on Normandy Beach. Uniquely, it premiered in two sequential events, designed to mirror the D-Day landings within the exact timeline of the historic event.
Lost In Adaptation Fact: In the movie, Rita (Emily Blunt) appreciates having coffee at the farmhouse. This is a nod to her character in the book, who is a coffee lover and had been introduced to coffee at an early age by her coffee addict father. In the world of the book, where coffee growing has virtually ceased because of the Mimic invasion and people drink artificial substitutes, Rita still has some supplies of exotic real coffee beans and her only personal possession is a coffee grinder.
Thanks for sharing. I didnt even know there was a book until now.
that wasn't a fun fact. More like a who cares fact.
@@jaydouglas8845 Not like your comment, which was an absolute treat.
@@robertbretschneider765yeah, I've seen multiple comments use the word 'novel' or 'book'. Which i found confusing, because all i was aware was the manga this was based on: "All you need is kill". Fantastic manga, by the way. Self contained, two volume series. And while illustrated works like comics or manga are technically books (and i suppose novels if you stretch the meaning), whenever someone refers to a 'book' i typically visualize something with predominantly written text. Regardless, it's a minor quibble and i appreciate people trying to get more eyes on the original work. It's definitely worth checking out.
@@bradleymay5350 The manga is an adaptation of the original novel from 2004.
I love Brendan Gleeson (the General). His face has this sort of bulldog-quality to it that means his resting expression is right on the gap between laughing and yelling. He makes me smile just looking at him. Also, he was MAGNIFICENT in 'In Bruges' (alongside Colin Farrell).
Alita: Battle Angel. You'll LOVE it!
You beat me to it! I just realized after I posted a paragraph about it. Alita Battle Angel and The Edge of Tomorrow have a lot in common with each other, especially quality and entertainment-wise. And I guess I'd pair up Oblivion right there in that same category.
@@BattleAngelFan99 well they are both based on Japanese stories.
Yeah, that is pretty good. But there's a ton more schmaltz in it.
The movie's based on a Japanese light novel called "All You Need Is Kill"*, by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. And there's a pretty good English translation of it. There's also a full graphic novel, i.e. manga, adaptation of it as well that's pretty awesome. It was done by the creator of Death Note. The story is kind of the same as in the movie, but there's some significant differences. You mentioned how it's similar to a video game in its setup, and that feeling is certainly from the original source material. It's definitely worth reading if you're a fan of the film.
*Also people make fun of the Japanese title as being bad English, but it's not, really. It's a play on "All you need is love", and it's shortening of "All you need (to do) is kill". Both of those suit the story very well.
40:28 Tom’s giggle just kills me, every time … “What do I want? Where do I begin… coffee- three sugars?” 😭
A sci-fi definition of Love At First Sight. 😌 They Know!
You have to pay attention, but every time he drops on the beach is an entirely new shot, you can see his helmet / visor break a different way each time, for example.
Such a great film!
I have to imagine the name "Rita" is a small nod to Groundhog Day. Along with "Nance" (Nancy? Nancy Taylor?!)
Interestingly her name is Rita in the book too while the main character is Keiji. Kinda like Cage.
5:25 "He's gonna die"
Yes, two or three thousand times ...
Rita's sword is actually a Tail Rotor Blade from a helicopter. Love this movie and I hear rumors of a part II.
The most underrated sci-fi movie also stars Tom Cruise..it’s called ‘Oblivion’. It’s a good one!
One thing no one comments on is that Cage sees the vision of the dam and then later makes it there. In both cases you see writing on the wall as he approaches the pit. The German phrase translates to “Be Careful, Danger.” It’s foreshadowing that’s hidden in plain sight.
This movie had a quote I'll be back " moment. When Tom Cruise was holding those grenade pins, it was a repeat of what he did in war of the worlds in 2005.
As someone approaching his 60th birthday, I can say happily that you two are an absolutely adoptable couple. Stay happy. Great reaction, GREAT film. A really underrated gem in many ways. But I have never met someone who has watched it that didn't absolutely love it. Tom Cruise is fantastic as always. There are few that can match his action chops. Keep diving into his filmography, there are so many wonderful films he's done. An absolute Hollywood legend.
sorry, that should have been "an adorable couple". Darn autocorrect.
One of the best sci-fi action movies of the 2010's, as simple as that. The fact that it bombed has always stunned me.
And yes, as you pointed out, sensational CGIs. It was done ten years ago, but a remake was made today, we wouldn't see any improvement in that regard.
I guess the studio just didn't spend the money to promote it enough. Don't think I ever saw a commercial on TV with the movie. Shame, because I would have loved it in the theater.
@@Worrell057 Oh, I did watch it in the theater, two times, and I confirm it was awesome. :)
There are a lot of things that can bomb an otherwise great movie. John Carpenter’s “The Thing” came out just after E.T. and E.T. became the darling of the day. People didn’t like Carpenter’s ultra realistic gore, deformation, lack of women, supposed animal cruelty, and lack of a happy Hollywood ending, but today, it is a cult classic and lots of people do reaction videos to it. I haven’t seen any E.T. reaction videos yet.
Her Sword is a rotor blade.
When they can't reset is when you truly see the toll all those resets took. Both Cage and Rita react with instantaneous movements. Zero hesitation.
Chandra and Jordan, you are fun to watch a movie with.
Great movie to watch, thank you for the upload! Looking forward to the reaction...
Ok finally finished the reaction, it was fun seeing you guys go through that journey, it's a fun first watch.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
The story telling is classic Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. There are multiple successes followed by failures, each ramping up the stakes. He meets a mentor who helps prepare him. There is great character development arc as his skills and confidence increases.
Then, the third act where a point-of-no-return is reached and the stakes become all or nothing for the final battle. The book ends differently but the storytelling in both is superb.
Technically, I believe this is a man vs animal story with an anti-hero protagonist.
"I thought he would last longer than that"
huh I know that line lol
That death at 15:08 had the whole theater rolling when I saw this on release. I hadn't heard of it and got dragged in by a friend who was bored on a Friday night. Really glad they did, it's hilarious.
This was a fantastic movie. The performances, the plot, the effects were all so wonderful.
Love Edge of Toborrows. Great performance.
Cheers 🍺
Nice to see you 2 react to the movie on its 10th year anniversary. Edge of tomorrow is one of the best Tom Cruise movies.
I've always love films and shows that have the day resetting itself and we see the same shots with subtle differences. This one is definitely in my top 5.
Haha, it's kind of becoming a genre. I never thought such a thing would happen. Back in my day, all we had was Groundhog Day.
This movie is the extreme action version of a movie called Groundhog Day.
This another example (along with A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, etc.) of Tom Cruise being able to perfectly inject bits of humor into serious material. His facial expressions and tonal shifts are amazing.
32:26 - That's Emily Blunt's voice as the medic.
Just full on embracing that Pringle's man look now😂
29:49 There is a youtube video going over how many resets Cage has gone through and by tallying up all the "extra knowledge" he shows each time we see him, the final count was well over 400.
However the truth is we will never know and Cage may have lived this day a thousand times.
I think people underestimate how many times? In the graphic novel it was many thousands? There is a trailer where Tom's voice-over says,in the helicopter shed: "For me it's been an eternity."
E.g. the eyes-closed fight. Every single punch, dodge is one reset.
Fun reaction. I enjoyed watching this.
the thing that makes me respect tom cruise as an actor is that he's not afraid to play someone who is so ignoble and sleazy. he is SUCH a coward in the beginning and he plays that to the hilt in order to make that arc play so well.
In his defense, it is an incredibly stupid idea to put him on the beach.
What he does is not done on the beach; that footage is gathered by field reporters. His job is to sit in an edit booth and put the video together to tell a narrative. Which is exactly what general dickhead wants.
Awesome reaction, guys! This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, and definitely one of my favorite Tom Cruise films. I'm so glad you reacted to it!
If you want to see Tom Cruise in another role that's a bit different than he usually plays, check out Collateral (2004) with Cruise and Jamie Foxx.
Other really great sci-fi movies to react to would be Arrival, Frequency, Predestination, and Gattaca. They’re not necessarily the most action-filled, but they are extremely thoughtful and intense in their own, unique ways. All of them have great writing, acting, and effects.
THE Arrival is also a sci fi film starting Charile Sheen. It's not bad.
And of course there's always "Forbidden Planet"
Amazing reaction, guys! Instantly subscribed.
If any of you are Stargate : SG1 fans, there is an episode called "Window Of Opportunity". It's probably my fav, and follows the same Groundhog Day vibe.
Emily Blunt is fantastic in (well everything she's in, but specifically) a movie called "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon. It's sci-fi (ish) movie based on story written by Philip K Dick. Other movies based on his stories are Bladerunner, Total Recall, Imposter & Minority Report. Have fun!
Love this movie! I went to the theatre twice just to boost the receipts since it wasn't marketed well.
Great reaction you two! Yep, this movie is such a great time… pun intended.
I saw it a couple times already in the comments, but I'll add my vote for "Oblivion." Obsolutely stunning movie.
it would be easy for him to get out of going on the beach.
All he would have to explain to the general is that there are people called "field reporters" who will go to various places during the invasion (under Cage's supervision) and collect footage... and then Cage will work his magic and weave the footage into a positive narrative ... from his edit booth.
There is no reason for Cage to go on the beach.
The first part of this movie reminds me of a great science fiction story, "Caster".
A famous newscaster returns to his "backwater" home world, which is about to be handed over to aliens as part of a post-war peace agreement. He begins by sneering at the world he escaped, but slowly sees what a great place it is, where humans and aliens live in peace.
The planet, Greenworld, is going to resist the aliens, but doesn't stand a chance.
And so he begins a series of newscasts aimed at one man; the admiral of the fleet.
The admiral knows that if he interferes, it cold resume the war; but he also knows the planet will be devastated by invasion and the humans probably killed. But the caster mercilessly preys on the admiral's conscience with his stories, and the admiral knows the price he will have to pay.
Finally, after the aliens begin their attack and Greenworld fends it off with a desperate gamble... the admiral orders the fleet into action.
His ships threaten the aliens' transport ships, which would also have their "queen-mother" aboard.... and so the aliens call off the attack and go home.
The admiral and 'caster are invited by the head of gov't to watch from his office as two of Greenworld's only transport ships land... surrounded by a squadron of the latest fighter ships. The transports were loaded with orbital defense weapons.
Once the bankers saw that Greenworld stood a chance, the loans were guaranteed.
The admiral leaves, solemnly, and the caster asks the leader what his problem is. The leader explains, that in order to prevent a resumption of the war, Earth has to throw the aliens some red meat. The admiral will be tried and executed.
The caster tells the leader to summon his producer.
The last line of the story is: "I'm going to save that man":.
Hello Jordan & Chandra!😊 It has only been a week since your reaction, but it seems much longer. That must mean you guys are great reactors!😉 One of the most fun futuristic action films I have seen is "Demolition Man" (1993) and it stars someone you are familiar with Sylvester Stallone.🏆 Two more futuristic action films with Tom Cruise are "Minority Report" (2002) and "Oblivion" (2013).😉 Great reactions to this Groundhog Day type film, Maplenut Couple!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 Two more films with a similar premise are "Happy Death Day" (2017) and "Happy Death Day 2U" (2019).😉 They are comedy/horror.
This is a great movie. Just imagine how heartbreaking it would be to get to know some person so well over the course of weeks or months or whatever- growing closer ever day and learning all these personal things and they just forget every day that they know you.
I'd also suggest checking out District 9 and Elysium. The both have that kind of gritty, real life feel to them. Oh, and Oblivion, also starring Tom Cruise.
I don't know if you two realize this but Rita Vrataski's sword is a blade off of a crashed helicopter.
Hey guys! This was fun (as expected- heh). A few other "time loop" movues, you'd enjoy...
- Groundhog Day (the OG)
- Happy Death Day - same, but slasher movie
- Palm Springs - romantic comedy (kinda)
And separately, "Looper" - not quite the same, but still a slick approach to time travel.
Later! 😎👍
Great reaction. Your editing really did justice to the film's story, which is often lost in similar reaction videos. Well done...
Definitely check out 'Boss Level', 'Oblivion', and 'Elysium'. Seeing how much fun you guys had with this one, I know you'd love those.
For a time loop movie that really leans into the video game feeling, Boss Level is a lot of fun.
I never get TOO excited about a Tom Cruise film unless it's sci-fi, all of those he's done are really good. The year before, 2013, he did one called 'Oblivion'. Then there's the two he did with Spielberg, 'Minority Report' and 'War of the Worlds'. Another mind bender from 2001 is 'Vanilla Sky'.
I like that if you like Tom Cruise, you'll love this movie, and if you HATE Tom Cruise, you'll still like this movie because he dies so much :)
Recommendations -
1. Star Wars - A New Hope
2. Godzilla Minus One
3. The Matrix
Oblivion 26th Tom cruise came out around the same time... another si fi action... I love it. Both films to me are epic. Great reaction.
Wonderful reaction and this is one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies!! Love you guys so much, your reactions are so much fun!! 🙂❤
Love your genuine reactions.
I love this film! I saw it 3 times in theaters and many times since then on Blu-ray or in reactions like this and I will never understand how this film didn't do well at the box office. Happy you both enjoyed it so much.
"How did they film this? It doesn't look like CG, it looks real."
There's good cgi and bad cgi. This movie has good cgi. Unfortunately cgi has gotten a bad name because of so many movies that don't bother making it look good. I've always seen through that. Jurassic Park had very good cgi, for 1993, and it continues to impress today, because the right tools were used and they were used well.
27:47 It didn't occur to me until watching your reaction, after I've seen this movie a lot of times, but maybe he cleared out that entire beach himself so he might have enough time to get to the omega before she dies? On second thought, I'm probably wrong. It seems like it would have shown him wiping out the mimics on the beach if that's what he did.
Action scifi recommendation: ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL (2019) Trust me on this one. James Cameron had a very big hand in the making of it and it really is good, on a level close to Edge of Tomorrow. I'm not kidding, yet I'm aware of how it went right under most people's radar. Many of your viewers will be familiar with it and will back me up on this one. It's very scifi, very action, and full of surprises. You'll love it.
In fact, even though Alita Battle Angel's story doesn't resemble that of Edge of Tomorrow, the movies have a lot in common. Both were great movies, but didn't do as well as they deserved to in theaters for various unfortunate reasons. Both made extensive use of very good cgi. Both have lots of great well-known actors. Both are very high action. Both have intriguing plots that twist and turn unpredictably to surprise you in the end. Both have likable bad-ass characters. Both make clever use of humor to break up the seriousness without making it feel like a comedy. Good writing, music, choreography, cinematography, etc.. Oh yeah, and both have a main character referred to as an "angel".
Great reaction!
Big Love is an HBO series starring Bill Paxton, it's a lot of fun, and he's great in it. Even if you don't react to it for your channel, it's worth watching.
Risky Business (1983) Is a fantastic, smart, dark coming of age movie that stars Tom Cruise and made him a star, three years before Top Gun made him a super star. And for some reason almost no one reacts to it.
Under the Skin (2013) Is a movie starring Scarlett Johansson. It's easily one of the weirdest and most viscerally disturbing sci-fi movies ever made. It's also a movie no one ever reacts to.
Id say somewhat underrated movie. It's really good.
“Hell or High Water” and “Sicario” are great movies
11:53 it's actually part of a helicopter rotor blade.
Bill Paxton RIP
because you love sci-fi, watch...aeon flux, elysium (feels like this movie), dark city, cypher, the island, equilibrium, ex-machina
golden compass, i robot, in time, outlander, snowpiercer, spectral, and a fantasy movie..the league of extraordinary gentlemen
I think this is one of the best sci-fi films of the last 25 years with an excellent cast & engaging storytelling. No doubt the special & practical effects are fantastic but the script is what really makes it superb. Cannot be positive of course, but I think Cage relived that day for years…how that would just wear you down psychologically, especially having feelings for Rita….it would be a nightmare. (If y’all haven’t seen “Oblivion” I highly suggest it, another excellent sci-fi). [edit: been thinking this for awhile, have you thought about watching any classic sci-fi? Hope so, because I have an amazing film…”Metropolis”. Please consider]
Based on the Japanese novel "All You Need is Kill" (which was the original title for the film while it was in development but they changed it before release). There's also a manga _and_ a graphic novel adaptation so if you're a fan of multi-media fiction you're well covered :).
Great movie, deserved to do better on release than it did I think (it wasn't a flop - they made their money back plus a bit - but also wasn't a smash hit either).
OK, I'm going to make a case for Tom Cruise's contribution here.
In the UK we had a TV film critic, and I remember he reviewed _Rainman_ when it was released. He gave due props to Dustin Hoffman, but he went on to say that the acting of Tom Cruise was superlative, playing the character arc of the brother who at first was a grade-A douchebag but the things that happened gradually made him a decent human being.
This is a similar situation: Cage's character arc is one that I think not many actors could have pulled off. He's unctuous in the early scenes, a real media manipulator and coward and a draft dodger; then he's terrified as someone without even basic training who is literally dropped on to a beach-head; then he's totally reliant on Rita, he needs her to tell him what to do and provide support for what he's going through, but he ends up as a true warrior - the difference between his expression in the drop ship between the first and the last time we see is astonishing - cold, calculating, urgent, brave, and super-efficient.
And in the middle just for fun he throws in a portrayal of someone who is heartbreakingly in love with Rita but he knows she's only known him for 24 hours and he can't possibly let her know how he feels, because it would be weird. "Why does it matter if I die?" She catches on though, which is why we get one of the great lines in the movie, something she says to him so that a future version of herself will know how she felt about him before: "My middle name... is Rose."
The last reset is correct because he kept resetting the invasion day but they went to Paris on the day before the invasion so that’s the day that was reset. Some people don’t get that right away.
Great reaction to this one!
If you haven't reacted to these movies yet they are well worth it:
Interstellar (2014)
The Martian (2015)
Arrival (2016)
Her "sword" is actually a tail rotor blade from a helicopter.
I actually saw this in the theater for free with a friend, just for being an influencer. What's funny is that my channel has nothing to do with film.
It's really sad that this movie kinda flopped in the cinemas. It was so awesome to see on the big screen.
Action Sci-fi recommendation: Soldier (1998) Kurt Russell
I knew you'd enjoy this film! We broke the record for shortest time between a recommendation popping up and me clicking on it 😂 We'll break it again if you watch my recommendation, above. It's a great film with a lot more emotional content than you'd expect from a 90s action movie. I wouldn't say it's underrated, because everyone loves it when they see it, but not many people have reacted to it on RUclips so maybe it's hard to find; I don't know. I just know you'll really enjoy it if you watch it. It's got Kurt Russell. How can you go wrong?
Watch Cloud Atlas. It's sci-fi mystery action comedy drama; genre- and character-bending, beautiful and heartbreaking, truly unlike anything else. And it all works. So underrated, probably the Wachowski's best film. About life love death, future past present. Great directing, cinematography, editing and cast. It deserves a reaction video, I know you will love it. I'll even become a Patreon member, I swear! 😅
The Second Top Gun should have been what the sequel was named
Excited for your reaction this is hands down one of my all time favorite movies. Hope you can do Oblivion with Cruise and Morgan Freeman
Recommendation: Two more great Tom Cruise action sci-fi movies are "Oblivion" and "Minority Report".
Great reaction! As an aside by military tradition there's no such thing as a "J-Squad", or company or platoon, etc. It's considered the "lost" company. Which I always felt was interesting that's who they use in the movie. The story goes that there was an actual J company that was obliterated so they retired that designation. The real life reason is not as dramatic. I and J are similar when written and can be interchanged so they chose to use I instead.
Fantastic film....can't wait for the sequel
Love bill paxton's reaction at 15:06 when cage gets run over by the truck.."what the hell were you thinkin"..😂😂😂😂😂
This movie ROCKS !!!!
One of those few movies that I have watched which was FAR FAR better than I expected it to be. Why the heck they did not do a follow up for this to round the story out is a true mystery. After all Tom Cruise is not exactly a nobody in the film industry!
You should check out The Hidden (1987)
One of the best movies of the last 20 years easy. Great reaction.
This movie is a twisted version of Groundhog Day.
They are sending him in with the invasion because he is a public affairs officer, and the only way to tell the story is to get out there and participate. I was in the same job in the military for 24 years. I went out on patrol almost every day while deployed to Iraq on combat missions with the infantry. All service members are warfighters, regardless of their specific military occupational specialty.
The ironic thing is this only ever got a mobile game made. They literally had the blueprint for what to make but never gave us a full fledged game.
Another fun reaction guys! This movie didn't do well in theaters for some reason, but it's a Sci-Fi classic. Another underappreciated Tom Cruise movie is "Jack Reacher." It's a whodunit and an action flick and definitely worth your time. 👍
Oblivion with Tom Cruise is a good one, too.
8:14 ~ That's what she said *Michael Scott voice*
This film, and oblivion are so good Cruise movies :-)
Tom Cruise kind of went off the rails on a personal level around this time and I think it kind of undermined his films, but now that people have forgotten his shenanigans they can appreciate that in spite of being a bit of a looney he's still a great actor in some great movies.
That said, this movie is one of his best. I only think I'd put The Last Samurai above it.
Groundhog Day on steroids
You've already done the action/sci-fi movie I'd recommend (Starship Troopers) so alternates would be:
1. Battle: Los Angeles.
2. Attack the Block.
3. Dredd.
4. The Host.
5. Serenity.
6. Guardians of the Galaxy.
7. Gravity.
Less action, lots of sci-fi:
12 Monkeys
Donnie Darko
District 9
Ex Machina
Action sci-fi.. Tom Cruise had done a number of them. Oblivion, Minority Report, and War of the Worlds. Others that are not Tom's that I still like: IRobot, Surrogates, De Javu, Blade Runner both movies
"Deja Vu" with Denzel Washington is a Sci-Fi action/thriller that you guys would love. Movie magic at its best. You won't be disappointed. I promise.
